Welcome to Fojatos Garto, where culinary artistry blends seamlessly with experimental passion and global inspiration. Nestled in Carson City, Nevada, our story begins with an appetite for exploration and a love for the unexpected. Founded by Ozirian Zyphoris, Fojatos Garto is more than a brand; it’s a testament to the transformative power of flavor, a commitment to fusion without borders, and a celebration of kitchen ingenuity. Each concept we share is designed not only to elevate your palate but also to awaken your curiosity in the calm, immersive way food always should.
Our Philosophy: Calm Currents, Bold Shores
At Fojatos Garto, we believe that food should soothe and surprise in equal measure. That the rhythm of a kitchen can be both serene and spontaneous. Our philosophy merges these worlds, introducing culinary creations that are as grounded and thoughtful as they are daring. We draw on timeless techniques and global storytelling, not just to serve meals, but to craft experiences that leave an imprint—not with noise, but with nuance.
Imagine the tranquility of a Zen breakfast infused with the aromatic mysteries of a Turkish bazaar. Or the quiet crackle of a hearth as katsu flavors settle beside rosemary smoke. This is the Fojato-fusion way: centering calm, inviting contrast, and flourishing in the interplay between comfort and discovery.
Our Origin: A Whisper Turned Roar
Fojatos Garto unfolded from a simple, intentional idea: what if culinary experimentation didn’t need to shock the senses—what if it could reset them? Ozirian Zyphoris pondered this as he journeyed through North African spice markets, French countryside kitchens, and Pacific Rim street stalls. In each location, he tasted not just technique, but a slower, more deliberate way of honoring food.
Returning to Carson City, Nevada, a place known for its quiet desert magic and mountain-watched skies, Ozirian founded Fojatos Garto in the spirit of opposites harmonizing. Fojato for the fire, the thrill—the ignition of bold experimentation. Garto for the grounded, the gentle, the grace of everyday cooking. Together, they began speaking to palates that were hungry, not for chaos, but for conscious delight.
The Heart Behind the Heat: Ozirian Zyphoris
Ozirian Zyphoris is the rhythmic pulse of everything we serve—known not only for his culinary innovation but for the ethereal way he approaches food as movement and story. Raised in a household that vacillated between stoic simplicity and proud indulgence, his early memories were seasoned with contradictions: his grandmother’s patient broths beside his uncle’s improvisational grilling.
His travels refined the contrasts. But it was his return home—to Nevada—that catalyzed his vision: calm, authentic creativity in the form of food. Every menu, method, and experiment at Fojatos Garto bears his fingerprint. His approach isn’t only to ignite your imagination, but to center your spirit through taste.
More than a founder, he is a translator—converting philosophies into flavors and passing along, through each dish, the quiet encouragement to explore in your own kitchen. Fojatos Garto is his offering to every home cook, culinary artist, and thoughtful eater looking for new expression through food.
Balancing Flavor and Story: Our Culinary Pathways
The kitchen is our garden, and experimentation is our rain. Here at Fojatos Garto, we don’t just play with flavor—we protect its intention. Every Fojato fusion dish is an adventure. Sometimes it’s a pairing of sumac with butternut espresso. Other times, it’s a transformation of a beloved global staple into something newly resonant, gently rebellious, and always comforting in the end.
Complementing these are our Garto kitchen hacks—simplified wisdoms distilled from years of trial, joy, and burnt toast. These downloadable methods, novel slicing tricks, minimalist marinating paths—all offer ways of making every culinary journey a little more accessible, a little more soulful.
We also dedicate space to ripple-conversations: how flavors migrate, how cultures weave, how technique hums beneath invention. Our dishes and discussions aim not to tell one truth but to coax out many, letting your senses quietly choose what feels honest and new.
Inspired by Place: Carson City, Our Quiet Anchor
Fojatos Garto finds extraordinary calm within the arms of Carson City, Nevada. Here, where wide skies meet balanced air and hardworking kitchens burn late into chilled nights, we craft foods that honor place. The arid landscape pushes us to be both creative and resourceful. Local herbs find homes in global broths. Desert-rooted vegetables meet broth-kissed northern sauces. Between every snap of spice and hush of infused oil lies the American West—both ancient and evolving.
Located at 1729 Sheila Lane, we draw energy from the resilience of Carson City, and listen to its silence between each boil and flame. It’s no coincidence that fusion creation finds balance here: this land knows what it means to host difference and offer stillness.
